Research interests

• Biology of oligodendrocytes, the myelin forming cells of the CNS, in health and disease.

• The regulation of oligodendrocyte differentiation in vitro.

• The oligodendroglia cytoskeleton and the microtubule associated protein tau in oligodendrocytes during normal development and pathological situations.
  
  
• Molecular signals that are involved in the regulation of death and survival.

• Stress responses in oligodendrocytes (oxidative stress, proteasomal stress) and the role of stress-induced proteins.

• Molecular mechanisms underlying protein aggregate formation as observed in neurodegenerative diseases with glial pathology, such as MSA, PSP and CBD.
